normal
Haploids are more suitable for mutation studies than the diploids. This is because
A
haploids are more abundant in nature than diploids
B
all mutations, whether dominant or recessive are expressed in haploids
C
haploids are reproductivelymore stable than diploids
D
mutagens penetrate in haploids more effectively than in diploids.
